Frontiersman Lewis Wetzel

-------------------------------------------------------------

Wetzel was considered one of the greatest of all frontiersmen,
scouts, and Indian fighters on the Border Wars of the
Upper Ohio Valley frontier.

A long with his magnificcent athletic and amazing
woodcraft, Wetzel taught himself how to load a
 rifle while running at full speed.

After the conclusion of the Indian Wars, he earned a
living as a hunter and a trapper.

Wetzel was never a pioneer like Danial Boone,
but was always a scout and frontiersman.

Time and time again he saved frontier settlements
from disaster by giving timely warning of a
projected Indian Assault.
